Memorial Health University Physician Practice Selects McKesson for Revenue Cycle Management

For a monthly performance-based fee, Memorial Health University Physicians will deploy McKesson Practice Complete™, a solution that bundles practice management software with comprehensive financial, administrative and clinical services. McKesson Practice Complete eliminates the need for large up-front capital expense, enabling the practice to control costs and implement the solution with little disruption to operations or cash flow.

“McKesson’s financial reporting tools will give us access to the data required to make both day-to-day and long-range strategic decisions for the practice,” said John Angstadt, M.D., senior vice president of physician services at Memorial Health. “By leveraging McKesson to handle our billing and accounts receivable management, we can focus more of our own personnel and resources on delivering a high-quality patient experience.”

The practice will use McKesson’s Horizon Practice Plus™ to manage clinic-based financial and patient information and RelayHealth Ambulatory Claims Manager to automate the claims management process. Together, these solutions drive increased efficiency and streamline revenue cycle processes.

With more than 4,000 RMS employees and 25 years of experience dedicated to helping physician customers improve their financial performance, McKesson is the nation’s leading provider of medical billing and practice management services. The company offers billing and accounts receivable management, consulting services and financial reporting. Armed with deep healthcare financial management experience, McKesson works with practices to streamline data collection and billing operations.

“We are very proud to partner with the physicians and staff of Memorial Health as they work to deliver first-class healthcare to the residents of Savannah and Chatham County,” said Pat Leonard, vice president and general manager, Revenue Management Solutions, McKesson Provider Technologies. “Everyone – the hospital, medical staff, and especially patients – benefits when physicians have the time and resources to truly focus on what they do best.”
